Silence.
I think I can learn a lot from silence. I don’t get enough silence in my life, though. Even now, although the family is sleeping, I still hear the clock ticking and the fan blowing. Bill Hybels said, “Is the ambient noise level of my life low enough for me to hear the whispers of the Lord?”
I am looking forward to vacation. It is the only time of the year I really get to read. I’m not a huge reader by any means, but usually by this time of the year I have five or six books lined up that I want to tackle on vacation. I’ll let you know how they turn out. Although, I can already tell you that you should read FACEDOWN by Matt Redman (it was listed on my Currently Reading a few entries ago). It’s a great book.
Nathaniel is three years old. That makes me older, too…his birthday party is today. It is turning out to be a little bigger than expected-in fact, I need to go finish the cake before work…it’s Spiderman Cake.
I think there may be some Nertzing tonight…

We never feel the age until our kids get another year older! Happy B-day Nathaniel – Little SuperHero!!!
Silence is good. I seek it out early in the morning so that I can start my day with Him right in front of my face. The ambient noise level of my life after 6:30 am is so loud!!
Hey Daniel! Tell Nathaniel HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY from me. I hope everyone has a great time. I’m sure this will be a memorable day for him. For some reason out of all my birthday parties, the 3rd is the most memorable for me. Oh by the way..I still am taking up your invitation for “nertzing.” Let me know the next time you are going to play. I have plans w/ family and friends today. So, I am putting Nertz on my list of 100 things I Want to do in my Lifetime. Have a blast today!!!! Bye….
